Color matching/optimization/correction

[recursive]

I received a second monitor for Christmas (same model as the one I already have) and after setting it up side by side, the older one puts off a warmer colors while the newer one displays brighter whites and sharper contrast and all menu settings are the same for both monitors as well as in the display driver settings.

I'm pretty sure the fact that one monitor being older than the other is a major factor in this, but is there anything I can do to get them matched as much as possible or am I stuck with the minor color difference?

Get a colorimeter and calibrate the new monitor or use a free program such as Adobe Gamma. If you search the net, you might be able to find a pre-calibrated ICC profile that you can use. Download WinColor to see/use the profiles.

leave them at the same settigs and wait about 2 weeks. you will notice that they will sync togatehr after the newe one's panel and backlight burnin. just keep same color's and contrast. the only thing you will have to adjust after the new one burn's in may be the brightness. i would wait 2 weeks like i said.
